A Case of Pharyngeal Stenosis Caused by Behçet's Disease Treated With Transoral Videolaryngoscopic Surgery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Behçet's disease is a refractory inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent oral aphthous ulcers. Ulcers are commonly seen in the oral cavity and the pharyngeal region. In patients with recurrent pharyngeal ulcers, pharyngeal stenosis may occur and leads to dysphagia. Herein, we report a case of pharyngeal stenosis caused by recurrent ulcers due to incomplete Behçet's disease. Prednisolone, colchicine, and infliximab were administered and resolved the pharyngeal ulcers, however, dysphagia persisted. To improve the swallowing function, a pharyngeal dilation surgery and transoral videolaryngoscopic surgery were performed, which resulted in an enlarged pharyngeal cavity. Oral intake of water was initiated the day after surgery, and after six days, the patient was able to take a normal diet. The pharyngeal stenosis had not recurred for one year after the surgery, and a normal diet continued without any dietary restrictions. Therefore, in a case of a severe oropharyngeal lesion, periodic follow-up and surgical interventions by an otolaryngologist are necessary.
